transfer the information. Change the setting
according to your usage.
The navigation system starts acquiring/catalo-
ging music information (1) when the iPod is

a few basic voice commands can be used
for iPod until the process has completely
finished.
pIf unreadable characters are included in
the data on your iPod, names or types may
not be available as voice commands.
Important Notice regarding Voice
Control for iPods
Voice Control for iPods may be limited if cata-
loging of iPod content is not completed. Cata-
loging of iPod content only occurs when the
system is in “AV Source”mode and the “iPod”
is the selected and displayed “AV Source”

occur if the system is off, if any other “AV
Source”is selected (aside from iPod), or if the
system is in any other mode (aside from “AV
Source”mode) such as “Destination Menu”,
“Settings Menu”,“Phone Menu”or the map
screen. If you wish to use Voice Control for all
iPod content, it is recommended that you first
connect your iPod, select “iPod”as the AV
source, and keep the iPod screen displayed
until cataloging is completed —cataloging of
iPod content should only take a few minutes,
and will depend on the size of the content
stored on your iPod. A message will be dis-
played when cataloging is completed.
